Hi

just for fun, did your baby make the list in 2009 or 2010? if so where did they come?

My ds hasn't made the list at all in the last 2 years but then it is quite an old name.

Thanks for the link Mum2Pea. On that (US) list my ds's name was used 805 times last year (position 375). My dd's name was used less than 400 times.

Interesting, as here in the UK their positions are the other way around.

ooh, i'm intrigued to see this list now!

can someone pls add the link?
i found women.evenhealth.com/top-baby-names/popularity-all-2009.html
but that's a US one?

thanks

Someone recently posted a link to that list, I'll see if I can find it - it contained ALL names given last year and showed how often each name was used (seem to remember there were over 8000 baby Jacks last year alone... Shock).

I've only seen the top 100 lists and neither of mine are on there. DS's name is very out of vogue and DDs is an apparently well-liked, and old, established name, but doesn't make the lists. Which is fine by me!

Has anyone got a link to the list of ALL names given last year? I'd love to see it.

DD's has been in the top 100 for years: but getting lower down every year, which is fine by me!

Where is this list??

mayanna123 · 03/03/2011 11:34

Not sure what you meant with 'made the list' - do you mean the top 10, top 100 or top 500 list?

Ds's name would be in the top 500, but far outside the top 100.

mayanna123 · 03/03/2011 11:32

There were 13 babies named ds's name last year (2010) in England & Wales.

195, 379, 308 and 944.
If dc5 is a boy then his name is at 2837.
If dc 5 is a girl then her name is at 2535, unlisted, 556, 4564 or 1365

Weren't popular at the time but both now in top 10

KenDoddsDadsDog · 03/03/2011 11:12

In the 300s. But the name seems to now be on every MNers list and lumped in with all the 'trendy' names.

lilmamma · 02/03/2011 21:30

my daughter was 4,and my sons 8 and 10,but one son never made it on the list haha..My children all have old fashioned names,so i think i made good choices.
